Bryant got braces today. I felt bad. I mean it’s good that his teeth will be straightened. I’m very glad about that. But I felt bad for him because I remember all the discomfort and annoyance of braces – how they cut up your mouth and how badly food gets stuck. I hope he can adjust to all this ok. I think I was 12 when I got braces, so Bryant is much younger. …

I got my copy of the restaurant review book I worked on last year. My writing is in a real book. I’m a little disapointed in the book’s quality however. This dampens my pleasure quite a bit, moreso than it should (?), but what can I say? I have high standards. …

Today has been a “weird thought” day. Not only have I had weird cat related thoughts, but I’ve also weird other thoughts. When I have a day like this where all my thoughts feel strange, I wonder if something’s the matter with me mentally. And then I also wonder if my brain is actually an android brain that some other alien race is controlling and they’re having a power outtage in space. I feel this blippage going on where there are thoughts that are my usual kind of thoughts, and then very strange thoughts get interjected, the kind aliens would eradicate so as to make me not get suspicious to their almighty powers over me.

Some days I start to suspect it’s really not ME controlling me but someone who looks like this: Yes, if The Mental Controller looked like that, and I knew it, I would immediately have to fight …

But the writing’s not grabbing me. I don’t know if I’ll finish. I was telling a friend at church yesterday that I no longer feel compelled to finish books. I used to make myself finish novels just because I started them, but then at some point, I realized that was stupid. Not every book is worth reading or enjoyable, no matter how highly touted. There’s no such thing as a “must read” book to me. If anything, I’ve become cynical of reviews for both movies and books. EVERY freakin’ movie and book has “rave” reviews on its jacket/cover nowadays. Those blurbs are beginning to mean nothing… …

I went to the movies last night with a friend. We saw “Once”. This is a movie about an Irish musician trying to make it on the streets of Dublin. He meets a Czech girl and they start playing music together. The music is really touching. …
